Want This Manicure for the Holidays? ✨✨

The back is one of the most neglected body areas, and one of the most prone to congestion.
Crystal-free micro abrasion from OxylightIonixlight Facial exfoliates the surface layer of the skin with a textured tip, while gentle suction removes the dead cells. No crystals with no residue for a smoother texture and clearer pores.

With a series of sessions, superficial post-breakout marks as well as keratosis pilaris fade. Though those small rough bumps on the upper back and arms, can’t be cured, they can definetely be minimized. Paired with the right home care, professional exfoliation on regular basis keeps the skin noticeably smoother. In that same visit, we can also treat the upper arms.

Whenever I ask my clients about their skincare routines, quite often they tell me, almost apologetically, that they don’t do enough. That their routine is too simple.
Others do the opposite. They examine every little detail in the mirror, constantly look for new imperfections, and layer product after product, trying to fix everything at once.

I always try to explain one thing: the first mistake in skincare is often a lack of consistency. Consistency matters more than complexity.

Some of you might say it’s difficult, that you don’t have enough time or patience. But what does that tell us?

If your routine is too complicated to follow regularly, it’s probably not the right one for you. Your skincare should be simple enough to fit into your life, so you can stick with it long enough for results.

There’s absolutely nothing wrong with keeping your routine simple. More doesn’t promise better, especially with skin.

A basic routine can be just 3 steps: cleansing, moisturizing, and sun protection. This is a great starting point for maintaining healthy skin. You can always add targeted products when your skin needs them.

Remember: consistency over complexity. Always.

One of those masks I wish every client had at home.

A little extra care for the area that can give away our age first.

This biocellulose mask from Exquisite Face & Body is infused with hyaluronic acid, collagen, aloe vera & antioxidants to deeply hydrate and leave the neck and décolleté smoother, firmer and more supple.

20 minutes. A little extra care that makes a difference.

Available at the studio.

Why is dermaplaning so polarizing?

Some people absolutely love it: smoother skin, no peach fuzz, flawless makeup application. Others claim “never again”. Breakouts, irritation, tiny bumps, sensitivity, or a feeling of facial hair regrowing thicker.

Let’s clear up that last one.
Dermaplaning cannot make your hair grow back thicker or darker. It only cuts the surface hair without changing the follicle. What can change is how the hair feels as it grows back. Instead of its naturally soft, tapered tip, you’re feeling a blunt edge. So it may feel slightly coarser, but the hair itself hasn’t changed.

But why are the experiences so different?
Dermaplaning gives an immediate visible result but what happens next depends a lot on your skin.

If your skin barrier is healthy and your skin tolerates mechanical exfoliation well, you should love it. If you’re acne-prone, sensitive, overly exfoliated, or prone to folliculitis - that same treatment can feel completely different.

Same treatment but different skin.
That’s probably why dermaplaning has almost no middle ground. People either love it or hate it.

We finish buccal massage with the Dual Hydration Mask from Exquisite Face & Body and aponeurosis massage to relieve tension in the skull tissues, improve their mobility, and stimulate microcirculation.

Facial and body treatments at the same time, four hands.

Two specialists work in sync. No pauses between stages.

Body treatment helps lower cortisol and activates the parasympathetic nervous system, supporting a faster shift into rest. Facial treatment boosts microcirculation, helping deliver oxygen and nutrients to the skin, and eases muscle tension held.

One visit covers two goals: face looking refreshed, body feeling lighter and toned. One appointment instead of two.

“I do everything by the book! Cleansing, moisturizing, masks matched to my skin type and on schedule but I still get blackheads and breakouts.”

This is what I often hear from my clients during the hot season.

Spoiler: it’s not you. Heat kicks your oil glands into overdrive and SPF mixes with sweat and sebum. Hello, blackheads. Anyone else dealing with this?

Peels and masks at home only work on the surface. What’s built up deep inside your pores, you can’t reach with your hands. Professional cleansing removes at a level home care just can’t reach. A visit every 4-6 weeks, and your skin stops being a battlefield every summer.

Smooth feet, groomed cuticles, perfectly shaped nails, and gentle care without harsh processing.

✔️ Professional treatment
✔️ Maximum comfort
